The great minds at Outdoor Technology have been tucked away at their undisclosed cabin testing and refining the ultimate active in-ear Bluetooth headphone the Orcas.  Designed for the active person in mind Outdoor Tech set to work making these headphones ultra-light, sweat proof, water resistant and best of all they packed it with a 6 hour battery life  to keep you grooving, and moving all day.  

A great fit is hard to find now a days, with the Orcas you get 3 fully customization ear tip sizes, and 2 secure fit ear fins to keep you whaling all day.  With a built in in-line control and microphone you can connect with your friends on the go, control your volume, and music with a push of a button. This is great when I’m connecting with my friends or just trying to get in the zone at work (my friends never call me) L  

I really love the secure fit from the fins as no matter what activity, from running around to participating in the running of the bulls in Spain these headphones never left me.

 The verdict of the headphones

No matter what in-ear headphone I have tried they always seem to tangle up on me, in my pocket, and even while I’m using them, well after using the Orcas for two weeks I can tell you that the flat cord design makes these headphones tangle free, and with the Bluetooth technology it eliminates the messy tangles of the cords Making it not only tangle free but cord free eliminating that pesky cord that bounces around while you’re running. Outdoor Technology really hit it out of the park with this one providing exceptional audio quality, by injecting these monsters with aptX and AAC codecs to give you the concert hall quality for a bumping price of $99.95.

Best of all when you buy these headphones through us Outdoor Technology will donate $1 to the Whaleman Foundation (a non-profit research, education, conservation & wildlife film production organization).  Trust me once you put these bad boys in and start blasting the tunes you’ll be singing “don’t stop till you get enough.”
